Just a quickie

Hi all,

This week has mostly consisted of sitting in one room, in a plastic garden chair either daydreaming or debating about sexual health issues. I've not been anywhere interesting since the last post so don't have a whole lot to write!

Interesting things this week (or in true Emily Day style) my top 5 moments have been:
1) finding out Mugs has booked his flight to come and visit in May!!!
2) having a yoga lesson from fellow volunteer Kim while the sun went down (not as spiritual as is sounds, more just funny and full of giggles when we fell over)
3) learning my first 4 chords on fellow volunteer Aiden's guitar and
4) sitting taking photos of the sunset and chatting to Hannah and Aiden for hours about all things which are taboo to talk about usually here in front of the other volunteers!
5) eating chicken and chips for lunch today-my first meal which hasn't included beans or cabbage!

Number one would have easily been overtaken by being able to sleep past 6am without being woken up but sadly that hasn't happened since I arrived so I'm living with a perpetual feeling of sleepiness! (6am you might not think that is bad but combined with them staying awake chatting and listening to the radio/talking on the phone, with the light on until gone midnight, not to mention sleepy Ness genes and well ...... you can just imagine the consequences!)

Might go and explore Kampala tomorrow and tonight I'm helping to organise "super saturday" for the volunteers-a quiz night!

We travel to placement on 7th Feb so they'll be more news then of how I'm getting on (or perhaps a couple of weeks after that as I won't have immediate internet access in my little village).

Hope you're all well-I'm already looking forward to multiple weddings in October!
Love to you all and keep texting (I think I can now send texts for about 3p so no excuse not to reply!!)
